One man remains in a life threatening condition after the Brighton bus crash earlier today.

The unnamed man is being treated at the Royal Sussex County Hospital and his next of kin are aware of his injuries.

A total of 19 patients were taken to the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton and the Princess Royal Hospital in Haywards Heath. All but eight of the patients have been discharged. Their injuries are not life-threatening.

Inspector James Biggs, of Sussex Police, said it was too early to say whether a medical episode suffered by one of the drivers was to blame for a crash which left 23 people injured.

As you can appreciate, on a sunny day in Brighton there were lots of people everywhere.
It was very chaotic. The main priority was care for the patients.

It was declared a major incident very early on.
We got a very good response from the three emergency services, and we worked very well in the initial stages to make sure the patients got the care and treatment that they needed.
